"value": "Commercial pilots have one of the most stressful jobs on the planet, but it appears they are being handsomely rewarded for their work. A government study has found that aircraft pilots and flight engineers are the highest paid group of workers in the UK with an average annual salary of £90,420 in 2014. They beat chief executives and senior officials, who are being paid an average of £81,521 this year, and air traffic controllers, who are raking in £79,874. Scroll down for video . Aircraft pilots and flight engineers are the highest paid workers in the UK, a study has found . Air traffic controllers rank third on the list with annual average salaries of £79,874, according to the study . Based on Pay As You Earn (PAYE) records, the findings are included in the Office of National Statistics’ annual Survey of Hours and Earnings, which was released this month. However, the survey does not include those who are self-employed or celebrities who are not listed on company payrolls, and the listed amounts do not include bonuses or overtime. Rounding out the top five were medical practitioners (£71,141) and marketing and sales directors (£70,742). Aircraft pilots beat chief executives and senior officials, and air traffic controllers for top spot . Lowest paid: Waiters and waitresses had annual salaries of just £12,507, followed by bar staff at £12,948 . Source: Office for National Statistics . Places six through ten were held by information technology and telecommunications directors (£64,511), financial managers and directors (£61,108), senior police officers (£57,896), financial institution managers and directors (£53,621), and senior professionals of educational establishments (£50,367). At the bottom end of the scale, waiters and waitresses had annual salaries of just £12,507, followed by bar staff at £12,948. Hairdressers and barbers were paid £13,373 this year, while kitchen and catering assistants earned £13,396. Other low-paid staff include launderers, dry cleaners and pressers (£13,767), retail cashiers and check-out operators (£13,911), and playworkers (£14,023). As of April, the median gross weekly earnings for full-time employees were £518, an increase of one pound from 2013. According to the study, that is the smallest annual growth since 1997, when record-keeping began. In addition to lifting the veil on Britain’s highest paid workers, the study uncovered unsurprising facts about gender pay disparity. Hairdressers and barbers were paid £13,373 this year - putting them near the bottom of the list . A male chief executive, for example, can earn up to £100,000, while a woman with the same job title is paid an annual salary of just £63,174. In the field of health care, male nurses earn an average of £33,460 a year while their female counterparts take home £31,140. But it’s not the same story for every profession, as female opticians are paid £36,350 – a little over £1,500 than male opticians. Overall, the gender pay gap has narrowed to 9.4 per cent, compared with ten per cent in 2013 – the lowest since 1997, when the gender pay gap was 17.4 per cent."

Six days after holding Italy scoreless, Ireland were a goal in front through Kevin Doyle, and a man to the good, against Costa Rica deep into the second half of the Freedom Cup and seemed set fair for only their second win under Martin O’Neill. But then, things went horribly awry. After Celso Borges converted a penalty in the 64th minute, Robbie Keane saw a penalty two minutes later saved by replacement ‘keeper Patrick Pemberton – it was only Keane’s second miss for Ireland. Matchwinner: Kevin Doyle hit the only goal of the game as Ireland saw England's Group D foes Costa Rica . Republic of Ireland: Forde; Kelly, Keogh, Duffy, Wilson (McClean 39); Pilkington (McGeady 64), Whelan, Green (Hendrick 64), Quinn (Cox 83); Keane (Hoolohan 83), Doyle (Long 70). Scorer: Doyle 18. Costa Rica: Navas (Pemberton, 46) Umana, Gonzalez, Duarte; Diaz, Cubero, Borges, Mora; Campbell (87 Calvo), Urena (Brenes 78), Ruiz (Bolanos 74). Scorer: Borges 64. Ref: Raul Castro (Honduras) Referee: Alexandru Dan Tudor (Romania) On a . tempestuous night, which saw a spattering of cards, missiles thrown and . post-match invasions by fans, Hodgson will have noted another incident . which, unwittingly, may be of benefit to England. After . Riccardo Montolivo’s broken shin in Craven Cottage, Giancarlo Gonzalez, . the Costa Rica central defender, faces a World Cup ban after being sent . off for violent conduct following an ugly aerial tangle with Doyle . before half-time. It was . Ireland who struck first through Doyle in the 18th minute, when the . Wolves striker placed a glancing header into the bottom corner following . a pin-point cross by Marc Wilson. Doyle’s . goal was almost fated as the PPL Stadium is under the shadow of the . Commodore Barry Bridge, named after the founder of the US Navy and, like . Doyle, a native of County Wexford. It was Doyle’s 13th international goal and his first since September, 2012, as he seized his recall moment. Look out behind you: Costa Rica's Keylor Navas fails to stop Doyle's shot . Ireland . seemed comfortable at half-time but the positioning of James McClean at . left-back for the injured Wilson was a weakness which Costa Rica seized . on. After 64 . minutes, they were level when Celso Borges smashed in a penalty, awarded . against 'keeper David Forde for catching the busy Marco Urena as he . surged into the box. Improbably, . Ireland were gifted a chance to restore their lead when referee Castro . awarded a soft penalty after Stephen Quinn tumbled under a challenge by . Heiner Mora. Battle for possession: Costa Rica wideman Joel Campbell controls the ball as Stephen Quinn looks on . But Keane, complete with trademark shuffle, was thwarted as Pemberton dived correctly to his right to push the ball away. Ireland had time to regroup but apart from a late flurry, the win which manager Martin O’Neill was seeking, eluded them. With one win in six games under O'Neill, Portugal are up next for Ireland in New Jersey on Tuesday night."

But how should Louis van Gaal's side set themselves up tactically? Sportsmail's Martin Keown takes a look. MANCHESTER UNITED . Watching Marouane Fellaini at the World Cup, he did well operating in a midfield three. In his last two United games he has played in a similar role – on the side of a diamond that can become a three. He looked much better for it. It’s a role that allows him to break forward from deep but also help out and cover when needed. United have finally found some rhythm and the system seems to be improving, but the problem now for Van Gaal is picking out his best XI. Belgian midfielder Marouane Fellaini has flourished for Manchester United in recent weeks . Fellaini points to the name on his back after scoring for United away at West Bromwich Albion recently . Spanish playmaker David Silva will miss the derby after coming off injured against Newcastle United . 18-6 The aggregate scoreline to City in the last five PL meetings . 47 Goals scored by City’s strikers in 2014. That’s almost twice as United’s tally (26), . 476 Goals in 167 Manchester derbies. That’s an average of 2.9 per game. MANCHESTER CITY . Last year City found the perfect balance between defence and attack, but this season they are struggling. You have to admire Pellegrini’s philosophy of playing with two strikers but to continue their incredible record in this fixture – they have won five of the last six Premier League Manchester derbies – City need an extra midfielder. With David Silva out, they will miss a lot of creativity so they could use two holding midfielders and push Yaya Toure forward. It’s time for Toure to come alive and there’s nothing like a derby game to bring out that passion and desire. Yaya Toure faces a fitness test on Saturday to determine whether he'll face Van Gaal's United the day after . Sportsmail's Martin Keown asserts that it is time for Toure to come alive from midfield this season ."

The 'self-healing' concrete would produce bacteria to fill in the cracks when the highway gets damaged (file picture) The report looks at possible trends up to 2050 and also envisages the replacement of conventional road surfaces with solar panels that could charge electric vehicles and melt snow. Temperature-sensitive paint on the roads could generate giant snowflake-shaped warnings to indicate a drop in temperature and icy conditions. Arup predicts that patterns of ownership will change in the coming years, with commuters more likely to purchase access to a vehicle rather than the vehicle itself. The numbers cycling and walking are likely to increase and electric cars could become commonplace, with developments in science dramatically improving performance. Fully automated navigation systems could enable roads to be populated by driverless cars which could change the design and operation of highways, and provide safety and environmental benefits. The report also suggests that improved communications will make cars more 'intelligent' and 'self-aware' of traffic levels, speed, weather and potential safety hazards. Arup's global highways business leader Tony Marshall said: 'While temperature-sensitive paint and solar surfaces may seem far-fetched, the innovations envisioned in this report are already being tested and piloted around the world. 'They will change the way that we approach mobility and freight transport and will provide safer, more reliable and more environmentally friendly highway infrastructure for generations to come.' He went on: 'Intelligent traffic and control systems will make our roads safer and more sustainable.' The report also envisages the replacement of conventional road surfaces with solar panels that could and melt snow (file picture)"

Having both enjoyed success during distinguished playing careers the pair have seemingly always been on opposing sides. While Ancelotti played for Roma and AC Milan, Simeone starred for Lazio and Inter and the rivalry will continue in the Estadio da Luz dugouts as both manager's will hope to mastermind their club from the Spanish capital to victory. Moving the goalposts: Diego Simeone guided Atletico Madrid to the La Liga title this season . Barking orders: Carlo Ancelotti will be looking to guide Real Madrid to the club's tenth European Cup victory . So these two have always been on opposite sides? Pretty much so. Simeone for Lazio and Ancelotti for Roma. Simeone for Inter, Ancelotti for Milan. And now on opposite sides of the great divide in Madrid. What did they win? Ancelotti won four Italian Cups and one Scudetto with Roma. Some years later Simeone won one league, one cup, One European Super Cup and one Italian Super Cup with Lazio. And in Milan? Ancelotti won two European Cups under Arrigo Sacchi. He has quite a relationship with this tournament – six finals in total two won as a coach and one lost; two won as a player and one lost. Success: Ancelotti, pictured lifting the European Cup as a player in 1989, has won the tournament four times . Action shot: Anelotti won four Italian Cups and one Scudetto eight-year playing career with Roma . And Simeone at Inter? A Uefa Cup triumph in 1998. The same year he played a certain game at St. Etienne and got a certain England captain sent off. So who had the better career? Ancelotti has the cups, Simeone has the caps. The Italian has won the Champions League twice but Diego played even more games for Argentina (106) than the other Diego, Maradona. All smiles: Simeone celebrates with Ivan Zamarano (left) and Youri Djorkaeff (centre) during his Inter days . And did they ever actually face each other on the pitch in one of those Rome or Milan derbies? No. They only started locking horns as managers. So what’s the balance? Simeone got the better of Ancelotti at the Bernabeu in the league earlier in the season becoming the first coach to lead Atleti to victory in a league match over Real in 14 years. Honours were even in the return fixture in a 2-2 draw. In the cup Real knocked Atletico out winning both legs. So it’s one win to Carlo, one to Diego, and one draw. All to play for in the biggest game of all. All to play for: Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo are both set to start in Saturday's Champions League final . Head-to-head: Both managers have managed to beat the other in Spain this year ."

Beresheet Hotel has a stunning view of the 500 metre-deep Ramon Crater, the world's largest crater created by erosion.

But few examples of the Battle of Britain bomber survived the fall of Nazi Germany and some 70 years later military historians say there is only one left. That unique aircraft has finally been raised from the bottom of the English Channel in the biggest salvage operation of its kind in British waters. It will eventually be restored and go on display as an ‘evocative and moving’ reminder of the young men of both sides who lost their lives in the battle for air supremacy in 1940. Scroll down for video . Rising leviathan: The Dornier 17 aircraft is lifted from waters of the English Channel. It was shot down during the 'Battle of Britain' in 1940 by RAF Boulton-Paul Defiant fighters. Two of its four-man Luftwaffe crew were killed as it crashed into the sea, but the other two were captured by the British and became prisoners of war . Artefact: The team watches as the aircraft is painstakingly lifted out of the sea. Aviation enthusiasts are excited because the bomber is in 'remarkable condition' The wreck was salvaged from 50ft of water on Goodwin Sands, off the Deal coast in Kent, after a three week delay because of strong winds. Despite being shot down and spending more than 70 years under the sea, it is said to be in remarkable condition. It crashed after being attacked by RAF Hurricane fighters on August 26, 1940, at the height of the Battle of Britain. Two of its four-man crew were killed and the other two became prisoners of war. The Do 17 – nicknamed the ‘flying pencil’ because of its narrow fuselage – was one of the principal bombers used by the Luftwaffe in the early years of the war, including during the Blitz. The recovery of the aircraft from the seabed is a £600,000 project by the RAF Museum in North London. Its team were able to raise the aircraft by placing metal cables around the strongest part of the frame and lifting it whole. Success: Earlier attempts to raise the craft from the sea bed were thwarted by high winds but the project finally came to fruition today. Some parts of the aircraft fell into the seas as it was being raised, but the RAF Museum tweeted that these parts will be recovered by divers. The wings and engines are intact, amazingly . Recovery: Workers secure the remains of the crashed Dornier , the only surviving one of its type. It is known as the 'pencil bomber' because of its extremely thin fuselage . In the air once more: Despite the nearly 73 years it has lain on the sea floor, the German bomber is in remarkable condition, with the wings and engine still attached . Rise: A salvage worker stands next to one of the Luftwaffe bomber's water-damaged engines Rise: A salvage worker stands next to one of the Luftwaffe bomber's water-damaged engines. It will soon go on display at the RAF Museum in London . From the depths: The Second World War Dornier 17 aircraft is lifted from waters of the English Channel today. It was first detected at Goodwin Sands in 2008 . In action: A Dornier bomber similar to the one which crashed into the sea during the Battle of Britain. The planes were 52ft long with a wingspan of 59ft, and could carry 2,000lb of explosives while manned by a crew of four. None of the aircraft were believed to have survived for long after the end of the Second World War . Peter Dye, of the RAF Museum, said: ‘The discovery and recovery of the Dornier is of national and international importance. The aircraft is a unique and unprecedented survivor from the Battle of Britain and the Blitz. ‘It will provide an evocative and moving exhibit that will allow the museum to present the wider story of the Battle of Britain and highlight the sacrifices made by the young men of both air forces. It is a project that has reconciliation and remembrance at its heart. Experts say that apart from being covered with barnacles and teeming with marine life, the Dornier is largely intact. The undercarriage tyres remain inflated although the propellers were damaged when the aircraft crashed. Chris Goss, a writer on the Luftwaffe, said the discovery of the plane was a ‘fantastic find’. He said: ‘This aircraft is going to be the only one of its type in existence. This aircraft is complete and therefore its price from a historical viewpoint is invaluable.’ The plane was found on Goodwin Sands by divers in 2008. Sonar scans by the RAF Museum, Wessex Archaeology and the Port of London Authority confirmed its identity. The recovery was backed by a National Heritage Memorial Fund grant of £345,000. A two-year restoration will take place at the RAF Museum’s site in Cosford, Shropshire, and it will later go on display at the RAF Museum in Hendon, North London. Delight: The bomber will eventually be housed at the RAF Museum in Hendon, North London . Underwater images of the WW2 Dornier lying in 50ft of water off the Kent coast.

Interestingly there is no place for Blues skipper John Terry though, with Thiago Silva partnering Luiz in central defence. Luiz's dream team was unveiled on Paris Saint-Germain's YouTube channel - and, perhaps controversially, he could not squeeze the Ligue 1 champions' star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic into his side.

But his former Blues team-mates Petr Cech, Branislav Ivanovic, Michael Essien and Willian all appear in his dream XI, which is set-up in a 4-4-2 formation. Cech is in goal, with Ivanovic - who Luiz describes as being able to 'jump like a kangaroo' - and Maxwell as full backs. In the centre of defence, Luiz is partnered by PSG and Brazil captain Thiago Silva. He says the duo 'make a nice couple'. The Brazilian's midfield features the 'fantastic' Willian, the 'machine in the middle' Essien and Benfica's Pablo Aimar, who Luiz believes is 'the best player' he has played with. It is completed by Manchester United's Angel di Maria, with whom Luiz played at Benfica. He describes the Argentine as 'magic'. And, due to the quality of strikers Luiz has played with in his career, Brazil forward Neymar - who he believes will soon become the best player in the world - and Barcelona's Lionel Messi feature ahead of Ibrahimovic up front.

The European Parliament restaurant is laying on a three-course Christmas feast despite continuing austerity across the Continent. MEPs, who earn around £75,000 a year, can enjoy the lavish menu for just 20 euros – which works out at less than £16. The European Parliament restaurant is laying on a three-course Christmas feast despite continuing austerity across the Continent . For that price they can sample smoked duck breast and truffle oil, pheasant with foie gras and truffles, lobster au gratin with lemon sabayon or vegetable broth with quail eggs and smoked garlic. Side dishes range from piped potatoes with chestnuts and chopped dried fruits, samphire flan, bundles of green beans, or an assortment of asparagus, mushrooms and cherry tomatoes, the Evening Standard has revealed. For those not wanting a hot meal, the salad bar offers a range of pâtés, meat, fish and charcuterie terrines. The meal is finished off with Bûche de Noël - Christmas log - or fresh fruit salad. Paul Nuttall MEP, Ukip’s deputy leader, said the subsidised feast was ‘a kick in the teeth for hard pressed families across the country’. The European Parliament authorities defended the price of the meal as “eminently reasonable”. They stressed that the menu was a Christmas special, therefore “exceptional”, and that it was being served in a canteen-like staff restaurant. There had also been a drive to push down “substantially” the costs to public funds of the catering services over the last two years. But animal rights groups have slammed the restaurant for serving foie gras. Members of the European Parliament can today sample smoked duck breast and truffle oil, pheasant with foie gras and truffles, lobster au gratin with lemon sabayon or vegetable broth with quail eggs and smoked garlic . A spokesman for the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals said: 'The scientific consensus on force-feeding is crystal clear: it's cruel and should be banned. 'Every animal-protection organisation in the world condemns the production of foie gras. 'The EU Scientific Committee on Animal Health and Animal Welfare has catalogued a long list of ways in which foie gras production is inherently abusive.’"

"value": "Around 12,800 years ago Earth was plunged into a ‘Big Freeze’, resulting in the extinction of many species. What caused this event, however, is not known. One theory is that Earth was struck by a comet or asteroid at the time and now new research supporting the theory has been released. By studying nanodiamonds scattered across Europe, North America and South America, the researchers say the impact theory is right. A study by the University of Chicago says a cosmic impact (illustrated) is the best explanation for the 'Big Freeze' 12,800 years ago. They say evidence for this comes from nanodiamonds scattered across 11 countries that could only have come from space . In the University of Chicago study, scientists claim the Younger Dryas (YD) period - the name given to the cooling episode about 12,800 years ago - was the result of a cosmic impact. This drastic climate change coincided with the extinction of Pleistocene megafauna, such as the saber-tooth cats and the mastodon, and resulted in major declines in prehistoric human populations, including the end of the prehistoric Paleo-Indian Clovis culture. The result of the impact, they say, was a YD Boundary (YDB) layer of nanodiamonds scattered over 19 million square miles (50 million square km). Nanodiamonds are types of diamond that result from detonations or explosions. The Younger Dryas period is also known as the Big Freeze. It was a period of cold climatic conditions and drought that took place between 12,800 and 11,500 years ago. Scientists believe this change in climate was caused by a meteor impact, but another theory is that it was because of the collapse of the North American ice sheets. During the period, forests in Scandinavia were replaced with a glacial tundra. There was more dust in the atmosphere that originated from deserts in Asia. The drier conditions caused drought in the Levant, known as the region of Syria or the Eastern Mediterranean, which led inhabitants to agriculture. The change in climate is especially linked to the development of cereal cultivation. ‘In [11] countries of the Northern Hemisphere, the YDB layer contains a clearly defined abundance peak in nanodiamonds, a major cosmic-impact proxy,’ Professor James Kennett and his colleagues wrote. Microscopic nanodiamonds, melt-glass, carbon spherules, and other high-temperature materials are found in abundance throughout the YDB field, in a thin layer located only metres from the Earth's surface. Because these materials formed at temperatures in excess of 2,200°C (4,000°F), the fact they are present together so near to the surface suggests they were likely created by a major extraterrestrial impact event, such as an asteroid. In addition to providing support for the cosmic impact hypothesis, the study also offers evidence to reject alternate hypotheses for the formation of the YDB nanodiamonds, such as wildfires and increased volcanic activity. With limited evidence, several rival theories have been proposed about the event that sparked this period, such as a collapse of the North American ice sheets, a major volcanic eruption, or a solar flare. According to the study the result of the impact was a YD Boundary (YDB) layer scattered over 19 million square miles (50 million square kilometres). Through the regions shown in this map material is found in a thin layer just a few metres below the surface across the globe . Based on multiple analytical procedures, the researchers determined that the majority of the materials in the YDB samples are nanodiamonds and not some other kinds of minerals. The analysis showed that the nanodiamonds consistently occur in the YDB layer over broad areas. To date, scientists know of only two layers on Earth in which nanodiamonds have been found in various locations, indicating an impact event. These are the YDB layer in this study and the well-known Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary 65 million years ago, which is marked by the mass extinction of the dinosaurs. 'The evidence we present settles the debate about the existence of abundant YDB nanodiamonds,' Kennett said. The study, ‘Nanodiamond-rich layer across three continents consistent with major cosmic impact,’ was published in the Journal of Geology. Material from the YDB layer, carbon spherules shown here, formed at temperatures in excess of 2,200°C (4,000°F). This suggests they were likely created by a major impact event. Several other theories have been suggested for this Younger Dryas period nearly 13,000 years ago, including wildfires and a solar flare ."

Dining receipts obtained by News Corp journalist Ian McPhedran show Mr Johnston, Mr Costello and defence industry executives spent $6384 of taxpayers money in pricey restaurants during November. The revelations of the meals - often washed down with $200 bottles of wine - come as ordinary troops in Australia's armed services face cuts to their entitlements and a 1.5 per cent pay increase which is below the rate of inflation. A spokesman for the Defence Minister told Daily Mail Australia that the spending was all within guidelines. Scroll down for video . Receipts showing thousands of taxpayers dollars being spent on lavish meals by Defence Minister David Johnson have been revealed, with this $662 receipt from Sean's Kitchen in Adelaide . This receipt shows some of the items indulged in at Balthazar restaurant in Perth on November 12 . 'All hospitality hosted by the Defence Minister and extended to foreign dignitaries or industry heads, including at the time of the Albany Commemoration, has been within guidelines and is consistent with previous Defence Ministers’ practice,' the spokesperson said. The first lavish dinner took place on November 2 at Perth's Matilda Bay Restaurant, where rib eye steaks, lamb and snapper along with three bottles of Henschke Mt Edlestone Shiraz at $190 a bottle contributed to the $2332 bill, News Corp reported. The prestigious establishment has waterfront views of the Swan River. Just a few days later, on November 5, Mr Johnston and Mr Costello were in Adelaide dining with Bruce Carter, chairman of submarine builder ASC and one of the companies chasing government work, sources told News Corp. The trio polished off two bottles of $143 shiraz at Sean's Kitchen, and two martinis at $20 each, according to the $662 receipt. Defence Minister David Johnston (left) and his Chief Of Staff Sean Costello (right) dined with industry executives hoping to secure billion dollar government contracts . These accusations come as defence personnel are facing cuts to their allowances and pay . The next stop was Balthazar Restaurant in Perth where the $722 bill - again racked up between just three people - included two $172 bottles of Omensetter Shiraz, two pork fillets and a cheese platter, News Corp reported. For the November 12 dinner, Mr Johnston and Mr Costello shared a meal and a few drinks with 'a senior executive from Austal.' Shipbuilder Austal is also seeking defence work from the government according to News Corp. Matilda Bay in Perth was revisited on November 15 where the bill racked up by seven guests at the waterfront restaurant was $2062. Rib eye steaks were on the menu again, as were two bottles of Picardy Chardonnay at $170 a pop. Bruce Carter, Chairman of submarine builder ASC (left) and Andrew Bellamy, head of WA shipbuilder Austal (right) were among some of the pair's dinner guests . The final dinner destination for November was the Courgette in Canberra, where Mr Johnston and Mr Costello were joined by two others, totalling $599 for dinner and drinks. In stark contrast, ordinary defence personnel who travel on business are afforded allowances of $24 for breakfast, $28 for lunch and $47 for dinner."

The plant's operator announced on Monday that a problem had occurred with a power-generating unit at the site. But Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk provoked further concern today when he referred to the incident during a Cabinet meeting. Nearly 30 years on, Ukraine still struggles to deal with legacy of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster which caused thousands of deaths. Scroll down for video . Nuclear fault: The Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant is the largest in Europe and suffered an accident earlier this week, according to premier Arseniy Yatsenyuk . Volodymyr Demchyshyn, the energy minister, said a short circuit at a power-generating unit in the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant (NPP) plant led to a drop in electricity production. But he insisted that the fault posed no danger and the plant would return to running as normal on Friday. 'There is no threat ... there are no problems with the . reactors,' he said, adding that the accident affected the power output system and 'in no way' was linked to . power production itself. In Vienna, the International Atomic Energy Agency said it . had no immediate comment on the report. Under an international . convention, adopted after the 1986 Chernobyl accident in what . was then Soviet Ukraine, a country should notify the IAEA of any . nuclear accident that can impact other countries. The explosion and fire at the Chernobyl power plant, the world's worst nuclear accident, was caused by human error and a series of blasts sent a cloud of radioactive dust billowing across northern and western Europe. Volodymyr Demchyshyn, Ukraine's energy minister, briefed the media on the accident during a news conference, insisting everything at the plant will be back to normal on Friday . Ukraine, Belarus and Russia, have estimated the death toll at only a few thousand as a result of the explosion while the environmental group Greenpeace says the accident will eventually cause up to 93,000 extra cancer deaths worldwide. Interfax news agency said a 1,000-megawatt reactor was housed in the bloc at Zaporizhzhya where last Friday's accident occurred. Mr Demchyshyn said the affected bloc had been provisionally disconnected from the electro-energy system though its reactor continued to work normally. 'Its power output is not being used. I think that the problem will be resolved by Friday,' he said. The accident has had an impact on Ukraine's energy system, but Mr Demchyshyn said he would ask the major industrial consumers to impose a 'voluntary restriction' in energy consumption. Ukraine produced more than 60 million tonnes of coal last year, making it self-sufficient in electricity and coal. Separatist fighting in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions since June has halted production at 66 coal mines, however, leaving Ukrainian power plants without enough raw materials."

'When you look at the number of goals he has and the impact he has on the team, it's fabulous.'"

Further votes are due next week that will officially disband the parliament. The government, which took office in early 2013, will be one of the shortest in the country’s history. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu failed to iron out differences with coalition partners and called for a poll . On Tuesday, Mr Netanyahu fired two rebellious ministers.

Transparency International says Australia has fallen for the third straight year in its global Corruption Perceptions Index, dropping from an impressive ranking of seven in 2012 to 11 in 2014. Australia slipped out of the top 10 for just the second time in the index's 20-year history. Transparency International Australia director Professor A.J. Brown said the drop was 'of great concern' The annual index measures expert and business opinion of public sector corruption across 175 countries. 'This is a real and significant drop which is of great concern,' Transparency International Australia director Professor A.J. Brown told reporters in Sydney. He said the results indicated a concern about the effectiveness of corruption fighting bodies like the NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption that recently exposed alleged rorting of donations laws by Liberal MPs. 'There are questions as to whether the ICAC has the right prosecution follow-up powers,' he said. 'Our assessment is that it's not simply a question of more scandals ... the slide shows growing concern about the adequacy of responses to corruption risks, especially at the federal level.' Prof Brown said Australia's position would get worse if no action was taken on introducing a federal anti-corruption body. Major scandals this year included the prosecutions of Reserve Bank note-printing subsidiaries, allegations of widespread union corruption and the ICAC's probe into alleged systemic rorting of political donation laws by Liberal NSW MPs. The ICAC said in November former state Labor ministers Eddie Obeid and Ian Macdonald would be prosecuted over adverse corruption findings. Denmark and New Zealand were ranked as the top two cleanest countries in the world, while North Korea and Somalia were perceived to be most corrupt.

His flagship Royal Hospital Road restaurant (helmed by Clare Smyth)has returned to the list. The Anchor & Hope in Waterloo nabbed top stop for the ninth year in the Best Bar/Pub Food list with reviewers heaping praise on the 'convivial' South Bank boozer – with its 'hearty' but 'superbly precise' British cooking. By contrast, appearing on the Most Disappointing Cooking list for the first time is Ollie Dabbousʼs eponymous flagship, Dabbous in Fitzrovia. It appears alongside Marcus Wareingʼs relaunched Marcus at the Berkeley and Heston Blumenthalʼs hotel dining room, Dinner at the Mandarin Oriental.

Once again Oxo Tower retains its unenviable status as the home of Londonʼs Most Disappointing Cooking with Harden's reporters saying the 'lazy' tourist trap remains 'as awful as ever' But for the first time in 15 years it has escaped a double on the 'lists of shame' giving up the crown to The River Cafe which had the dubious honour of appearing on top of the Most Overpriced Restaurant List. The 24th edition of Harden's London Restaurants also recorded the highest ever rate of net new restaurant openings in the capital, with a whopping 148 new eateries popping up in the last year. The figure for closings, 47, was the lowest this millennium, resulting in net openings this year of 101 – nearly a third higher than the previous record of 75 (noted in the guide's 2006 edition). 1.

The guide's co-founder, Peter Harden said: 'This exceptional level of growth is a fabulous achievement for the capital, but raises questions about its sustainability. 'It underlines London's continued emergence as the greatest restaurant city on the planet, but – in the 24 years in which we have tracked openings – such highpoints have also often heralded more competitive times ahead.' The guide collated scores from more than 65,000 reviews posted by over 6,000 'ordinary diners' to compile the rankings. Hardenʼs London Restaurants 2015 (£12.99) is out now in Waterstoneʼs and Amazon.com, and from www.hardens.com."

Easier than he thinks. The assembling of a mighty composite XI ended up balancing six Englishmen with five Scots. To squeeze in the highest feasible quota of superlative skills requires the selection of a majestic back three in a 3-3-1-3 formation. The starting point, beyond argument, is the Englishman who just happens to be the world's greatest ever goalkeeper: . GORDON BANKS - World Cup winner in 1966, immortalised by that flying save from Pele’s leaping header, stands imposingly at the base of this awe-inspiring team. ALAN HANSEN - one of football’s most cultured centre backs, in his golden years at Liverpool the most decorated of all Scots in the old First Division/Premier League. Gordon Banks won the World Cup for England and makes the No 1 spot and Alan Hansen earns his spot . BILLY McNEILL – the colossus at centre half for Celtic, who he captained to Britain’s first winning of the European Cup. BOBBY MOORE – one of the two greatest defenders of all time, in company with Franz Beckenbauer. The only England captain to raise the World Cup aloft, his statue still guards the gates to Wembley . Scotland's Billy McNeill (left) and England's soon-to-be World Cup-winning captain Bobby Moore lead their sides out for a friendly at Wembley in 1965 . GRAEME SOUNESS – tackled like a vice, passed like a laser, scored when it mattered, one of the great all-time, all-round, most-feared midfield men . BRYAN ROBSON – as Captain Marvel for Manchester United and England, embodied all the Souness attributes and was the bravest of never-say-die competitors . Graeme Souness was a tough tackling midfielder for Scotland and here stands over Mark Hateley in 1985 . Bryan Robson was England's Captain Marvel, winning 90 caps for his country . BOBBY CHARLTON – not only the most creative of all English midfield players but also the scorer of stupendous goals, 49 of which still keep him in possession of the England record – after 44 years . PAUL GASCOIGNE – self-destructed before completely fulfilling his phenomenal potential but this maverick remains one of England’s most naturally gifted prodigies . Bobby Charlton (right), shooting against the Scots in 1965, still holds the England goalscoring record with 49 . Paul Gascoigne broke Scottish hearts with this stupendous volley for England at Euro 96 . TOM FINNEY – still the greatest of all English footballers, as deadly at centre forward as he was unplayable on the wing, quite simply a genius . DENIS LAW – scorer of 237 goals for Manchester United and 30 in 55 games for Scotland, the archetypal poacher-striker, widely held to be his country’s second best player ever and their only winner of the Ballon d'Or. Tom Finney heads the ball towards goal in a game against Scotland at Wembley in 1953 . Denis Law celebrates scoring for Scotland against England in 1968 . KENNY DALGLISH – The Greatest Scot, maker and taker of wondrous goals, both conductor and virtuoso of the team, football’s Albert Einstein. Subs: John Greig, Jim Baxter, Kevin Keegan, Stanley Matthews, Jimmy Greaves . Apologies – to countless others who have made our game so beautiful. Kenny Dalglish, beating Colin Bell in the air in 1973, is the best player to have pulled on a Scotland shirt ."

The samples - about half of the university's collection which were preserved in jars of formaldehyde - disappeared from a facility in Austin in the 1990s. They were discovered this week at a university building in San Antonio. The University of Texas at Austin has found its 100 missing brain samples at another facility in San Antonio (stock image) Timothy Schallert, a professor of neuroscience and psychology at UT in Austin, told the Los Angeles Times: 'They have the brains. They read a media report of the missing brains and they called to say: ''We got those brains!''' The professor said he believed that the brains had been well cared for. His colleague, Professor Lawrence Cormack, had earlier said that students could have stolen the brains as a prank. One of the missing brains belonged to clock tower sniper Charles Whitman (pictured) The brains were provided from patients at the state mental hospital for research on diseases including Alzheimer's. The Austin State Hospital had transferred the brains to the university about 28 years ago under a 'temporary possession' agreement. The psychology lab only had room for 100 brains, so the rest were moved to the basement of the university's Animal Resources Center. The story came to light this week after a book was published called 'Malformed: Forgotten Brains of the Texas State Mental Hospital' by Adam Voorhes and Alex Hannaford. One of the missing brains reportedly belonged to Austin University clock tower sniper Charles Whitman. Whitman's 1966 rampage at the University of Texas killed 16 people, including his mother and wife, and wounded 32 others . The 100 remaining brains at the Austin school have been moved to the Norman Hackerman Building, where they are being scanned with high-resolution resonance imaging equipment. Mr Cormack said: 'These MRI images will be both useful teaching and research tools. It keeps the brains intact.' The University of Texas at Austin (pictured) said the brains went missing some time in the mid 1990s ."

The Ski Club of Great Britain has reported depths of 285cm at Glencoe Mountain, 250cm at Cairngorm Mountain and 200cm at Nevis Range. This comes after they reported a depth of only 128cm at Whistler in Canada, the host of the 2010 Winter Olympics, a few days ago. Avalanche risk: Staff at Glencoe Mountain Resort worked in sub-zero temperatures to clear the 14ft snow drifts . Depth: The huge amounts o snow virtually engulfed lifts on the slopes. Mountain Rescue have said there is an extremely high risk of avalanches . Massive snow drifts in the Scottish mountains have also caused more avalanches already than the the entirety of last winter. The SportScotland Avalanche Information Service said the risk in Lochaber was 'high' while the other four mountain areas the threat was 'considerable.' A spokesman from Lochaber SAIS said: 'Further deposits of fresh unstable windslab will continue to build on the existing deep accumulations lying in sheltered areas, mainly on North through East to South-East aspects above 850 metres where avalanches will occur. 'Unstable windslab will also be present on other aspects. Cornices will be unstable and prone to collapse. The avalanche hazard will be High.' The huge snowfalls have led to safety warnings being imposed by mountain rescue. Covered: The slopes in Scotland had more snow than some European and North American ski resorts, and boasted bigger depths than the runs in Sochi . Taking advantage: Some skiers and snowboarders ignored the avalanche warnings at Glenshee ski centre . Scots keen to take advantage of the conditions queue up for the lifts in Glenshee . There have been 159 avalanches in the Scottish mountains so far this winter - 80 in the last month alone - and 30 more than last season, with many more weeks of the season left. The number of fatalities caused by avalanches during the 2012-13 season was the highest in years.In all, eight people were killed in avalanches on Scottish mountains last winter. Nineteen of the 129 avalanches recorded last winter were triggered by human activity. Heavy snowfalls, freezing temperatures and powerful winds have also created spectacular, and some potentially dangerous, conditions on Scottish hills and mountains. Cornices, edges of snow overhanging high crags, are a common feature - and risk - of most winters. However, this season's frequent strong winds coupled with big dumps of snow have seen some larger than usual cornices in ranges such as the Northern Cairngorms. A path dug by one of the workers shows how the ski lift system was buried under the blanket of snow ."

The uprising against the Beijing government's stalling of open elections for Hong Kong has led thousands of residents holding protests in the region - which have led to violent clashes with police. However, despite the ongoing tensions, the Hong Kong Tourism board has reported a 12.6 per cent rise in tourist numbers for October 2014 compared to the same month last year. A group of Occupy Central demonstrators hold signs outside the Central Police Station in Sheung Wan, Hong Kong - but tourists are not been put off visiting . A cardboard cut-out of Chinese President Xi Jinping (centre) carrying a yellow umbrella is seen at the pro-democracy movement's main protest site in the Admiralty district of Hong Kong . And, according to statistics, the greatest increase in numbers concerns visitors from mainland China - with an 18.3 per cent increase. Beijing banned tour group visas for Chinese visitors to Hong Kong for a week due to protests and coverage of the instability has been censored, however figures for Chinese visitorshave still increased. Chinese tourists have also been keen to view the pro-democracy art and take selfies in the area. The huge increase of Chinese visitors has offset a slight decrease in the numbers travelling over to Hong Kong from the Americas, Australia and Europe. A woman carrying an umbrella is seen at the pro-democracy movement's main protest site - despite the ongoing troubles, tourism has increased . Added to this, there was also a 7.1 per cent increase in South Korean and Japanese visitors.

The Scot, who joined the club in 2004 and worked as chief operating officer before succeeding Peter Kenyon as chief exec in 2009, departs on amicable terms to seek new opportunities. Marina Granovskaia, one of Roman Abramovich's advisers, is set for a bigger role behind the scenes at Chelsea. Here, Sportsmail tells you everything you need to know about the situation at Stamford Bridge. Marina Granovskia with Didier Drogba in 2010 and the Premier League trophy, FA Cup and Community Shield . Granovskaia (left) with Drogba (and his son Isaac), Salomon Kalou (second right) and Michael Emenalo . A smiling Granovskaia, Roman Abramovich's former PA who is set to hold much more power at Chelsea . GOURLAY’S GONE, WHAT’S NEXT? 'Chelsea Football Club announces that Ron Gourlay, after 10 successful years at the club including five as chief executive, is leaving Chelsea in order to pursue new business opportunities. 'The club, and in particular the owner (Roman Abramovich) and directors, wish to thank Ron for his many years of service to Chelsea and support his desire to seek new challenges. 'Ron's efforts have helped the club to achieve its position as one of the leading football clubs in the world. 'Pending additional appointments, chairman Bruce Buck and director Marina Granovskaia will assume additional executive responsibilities.' Marina Granovskaia. Keep hold of her coat-tails, she is the next big thing at Chelsea Football Club and is clearly going places after the announcement that Gourlay is on his way out. Gourlay was responsible for the day-to-day running of the club from Stamford Bridge. He was initially commercial director at Chelsea and filled Kenyon's shoes in 2009. Thankfully, we have never had to endure the type of press conference Kenyon squirmed through when Avram Grant was appointed Mourinho’s successor in September 2007. ‘He’s the right man for the job, we are absolutely convinced.’ Gourlay - or ‘Galloping’ as he was affectionately nicknamed by the media - negotiated Chelsea’s massive kit deal with Adidas, although as one industry insider said: ‘They pay, we wear, not difficult’. Gourlay was in the boardroom suite at Crystal Palace on Saturday and there was no hint the chief executive was about to quit Chelsea. Director of football Michael Emenalo was there, along with affable secretary Dave Barnard, chairman Bruce Buck and the up-and-coming figure of Granovskaia. She runs the show now. Ron Gourlay has worked at Chelsea for 10 years, including five as chief executive . HOW POWERFUL IS A CHELSEA CHIEF EXECUTIVE? The most powerful man at Chelsea is Roman Abramovich, period. Beyond that Eugene Tenenbaum, chairman Bruce Buck and the highly-influential Granovskaia jostle for position within Abramovich’s inner circle. To be fair to Gourlay he has overseen a period when Chelsea have become an acceptable face in European football and they are now respected by some of the biggest clubs on the continent. He is a decent, all-round nice guy. Gourlay was famously at the club's training ground on the day Jacob Mellis set off a smoke bomb. Mellis was later fired. Public speaking was never his thing and he gave an awkward interview with Buck to talkSPORT when John Terry had been banned for insulting Anton Ferdinand. Owner Abramovich, pictured celebrating against Arsenal, wields the most power at Chelsea . WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR CHELSEA IN THE SHORT-TERM? The accounts department at Chelsea might notice fewer receipts coming in from Lucio Italian restaurant on Fulham Road. It’s a regular haunt for the power-brokers at Stamford Bridge and takings won’t be down for long. Beyond that, Jose Mourinho will give a gushing tribute to Gourlay at his press conference on Friday and his departure will be recorded in the matchday programme for the fixture with QPR at Stamford Bridge on November 1. AND FURTHER DOWN THE LINE? The next chief executive will come under pressure to find a solution to Chelsea’s long-running problem over a new stadium. Rebuilding Stamford Bridge appears to be impossible and they have lost out on the regeneration project of Battersea Power Station. Gourlay (left) pictured with Chelsea chairman Bruce Buc, who will assume additional responsibilities . 'It has been a privilege to have played a role in the club's considerable achievements both on and off the pitch over the last 10 years, but I feel the time is right to move on to other challenges. 'I would like to thank Mr Abramovich, the directors, the manager and players and all the staff for their support during my time at the club, and wish them much continued success in the future.' They floated the idea of ground-sharing with the RFU at Twickenham for a season while they remodelled Stamford Bridge, but it was met with fierce opposition from local MP Vince Cable. Finding somewhere in the borough to build a new super-stadium - to compete with the biggest clubs in Europe in terms of attendances and matchday revenue - will become more acute over the next few years. WILL THIS AFFECT JOSE MOURINHO’S ROLE? Mourinho was used to being the main man in his first period in charge at Chelsea, but he accepted a different set of conditions and criteria when he returned to the club at the start of last season. He reports to the football club board now and they make the big decisions in terms of policy. Mourinho has his say, but his job is to coach the team and make transfer recommendations. The Chelsea chief executive pictured with former England manager Fabio Capello at Stamford Bridge . MARINA GRANOVSKIA WILL ASSUME 'ADDITIONAL EXECUTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES' - WHO IS SHE? Abramovich’s former PA. She has been close to a number of players in the past and has been on texting terms with them, which is not unusual for a modern-day executive. ANY WORD ON A LONG-TERM SUCCESSOR? Marina Granovskaia. Her time is now."

Those Premier League bosses who looked a dead cert for the chop at the tail end of the last season have done enough to survive so far. Sam Allardyce, wanted out by West Ham fans for the majority of the past year, has seen a miraculous turnaround at Upton Park, with his happy Hammers sitting fifth. Paul Lambert, despite a good start to the campaign, has overseen another Villa slide but remains in the hot seat and was even given a brand-spanking new four-year deal in September. Chris Hughton was sacked on December 6, 2010 despite leading Newcastle to the Premier League . Paul Lambert (left) is still under pressure, but Alan Pardew has recovered well at Newcastle . Newcastle fans imploring the club to sack the manager earlier in the season . Alan Irvine at West Brom hangs on, while Alan Pardew fought through the calls for his head at the start of the campaign to guide Newcastle to five Premier League wins in a row. Ian Porterfield was sacked as Chelsea boss on February 15, 1993; the longest time between the season starting and a sacking in top flight history . If those hanging by a thread keep hold of their jobs by Monday, it will be the first time since 1996 that the Premier League has reached this stage of the season without a sacking. Chris Hughton lost his job at Newcastle, somewhat surprisingly, on December 6, 2010, just months after he guided them back to the Premier League from the second tier. A weekend survival would cast memories back 18 years, when Roy McFarland was axed as Bolton boss on January 2, 1996. Happy New Year, Roy. The record for the longest season of bosses clinging on for dear life is 1992-93. Chelsea held fire until after they exchanged Valentine's Day gifts with Ian Porterfield before getting rid on February 15, 1993. Irvine and Leicester's Nigel Pearson lead the sack race with the bookies, and both will want to get to Christmas without their P45s. West Brom sit in 16th place with just three wins all season, and Irvine's side travel to Hull City on Saturday, with their man at the helm Steve Bruce also in the danger zone with just one win in 13 games this term. Newly promoted Leicester go to Aston Villa on Sunday, with the fans just starting to turn against Pearson during the difficult winter period. The axe could be about to fall... 2-1 Alan Irvine . 3-1 Nigel Pearson . 7-1 Steve Bruce . 8-1 Harry Redknapp . 8-1 Paul Lambert . 12-1 Neil Warnock . 15-1 Brendan Rodgers . 20-1 Gus Poyet . 20-1 Mauricio Pochettino . 20-1 Manuel Pellegrini . 25-1 Sean Dyche . 33-1 Arsene Wenger . 50-1 Garry Monk . 50-1 Alan Pardew . (Odds courtesy of Coral) Could Brendan Rodgers be the first high-profile boss to depart the Premier League . West Brom boss Alan Irvine has called on fans to show their support rather than booing during games . Leicester manager Nigel Pearson positions himself in the stands, where he is surrounded by supporters ."
